It was originally a joke. People taunted John Wesley and his friends for the way they were devoted and how they practice their devotion. They were called bible moths, the holy club and the methodist. The term methodist was simply that they did things by a method.

Answer
Methodists are one denomination out of many within the Christian Church. They are an offshoot of the Church of England and were originally formed by John Wesley, although Wesley remained a Church of England minister all his life.
They are regarded as Christian as they uphold the main doctrines of the Christian Church (Trinitarian belief, and that Christ came to earth as God incarnate, was crucified, died and resurrected and is our Saviour) in the same way that all Christian Churches accept the salvation of Christ.
Any differences between Methodists and other Christian denominations are restricted to peripheral minor differences in doctrine, and the structure and worship customs of the Church.
